We will have sign-up sheets available for each shooting block at the registration table on Friday, first come, first served. You’ll need to be there the entire time, and follow directions from the crew. We would also ask that you NOT wear your ZOECon shirts or pins during filming, as this needs to look as much like Gen Con as possible – and ZOECon hadn’t happened when Gen Con ran in August! For continuity!

If you have any questions or concerns about appearing on film, just ask one of our friendly and courteous staffers who will be on-hand at the show. We’ll be more than happy to answer! See you in three days!

]]>You heard me right, we’re having a Waffle-Off! Winner takes home two tickets to ZOECON 2, to be held next year, Yeah, we’re doing this again…we ain’t right in the head….

The rules (such as they are) are posted in the Games & Events section of the website. We’ll most likely have the judging on Saturday night, which gives you ample time to prepare your best recipes and deliver the appropriate bribes to the appropriate judges. Who will the judges be? That is a tightly-held secret, known only to those who must judge, or be judged…judge. They’ll be make abundantly clear once you arrive on-site at the con, so don’t worry

If you have a favorite waffle iron, please bring it along, as we will only have a couple to spare. NO HOT OIL DEEP FRYERS, PLEASE! Also, coolers to keep your ingredients fresh might be a good idea, as the rooms don’t have fridges; there is a Safeway grocery not too far away, and the hotel shuttle will take you there if you ask nicely (best get together and go as a group, so as to limit the number of side trips the driver has to take between the hotel and the airport.)

]]>In an unprecedented development, the ZOECon staff sat down, crunched some numbers, did a little magic, made a couple of blood sacrifices, and did a few things we really aren’t too proud of…and found a way to LOWER the ticket price for the show! That’s right, the ticket price is now ONLY $99! Huzzah!

Nothing about the con nor its benefits has changed – we’re still filming, hosting a full slate of games, and building epic swag bags as our way of saying thanks to you.

If you already bought in at the $150 price, a refund for the $51 balance has already been processed; you should have it in your hands as we speak. For the rest of you, now there’s even LESS reason to delay. Get your tickets and book those rooms, before they really DO sell out!

]]>If you’ve come this far, you’re one of the family – welcome! We’re trying this amazing, crazy new thing, a con of the Zombie Orpheus faithful, a chance to gather, celebrate, play, and film, all under one roof.

What can you do to help? Right now, the best thing you can do is spread news of ZOECon 1 far and wide. Post it to Facebook, share it on Twitter, email all your friends and let them know about the most awesome con in the land. We are working around the clock to add more and more goodies to the con; if all goes as planned, the swag bag alone will be totally worth the cost of admission. Stay tuned for more updates as we get them, and one again, welcome to ZOECon!
